Step 1: Brown the Meat

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  3. Stir in the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 2: Build the Soup Base

Step 4: Add the Creaminess

  1. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
